Okay, not really, but this is what I have got for you.
It was reported last week that Craig was getting 'vetted' by Oregon. While there is some truth to that, keep in mind he has been on the Ducks radar since December, so there is a bit of a smokescreen with that thought process.
What I have been told is that the opportunity for Craig has been there for a while, but he is conflicted. He has reached out to several of his former colleagues looking for advice on what he should do with this career move. He has a big fat payout from LSU, the coaching staffs increase to 10 (most likely) later this year, and there will be renewed demand for coaches; especially coaches who can recruit and are available.
Craig has never left the southeast as a coach and has been checking out Oregon. Craig has a relationship with Taggart, but having already turned down Taggart at USF once, he wants to be absolutely positive that he makes the correct career move here.
We should know fairly soon what the answer is, so right now, all I can say is: patience.
